Comcast Sports Bay Area: Blacked Out Warrior Games?

Comcast Sports Bay Area: Blacked Out Warrior Games?

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. DirectTv Now has the CSN Bay Area channel which is the main reason I paid for membership. But, why are Warrior games unavailable when they are live? Is this similar to the NBA League Pass black-out rules? This seems deceiving because the DirectTV regional sports PDF file (when looking into subscribing) mentions CSN Bay Area for my zip code as well as listing Warriors and Giants games. Tonight's game happens to be on TNT too...not sure if that is impacting my viewing either.

Re: Couldnt watch CSN Bay Area Live

I had the same issue at zip 94556. Warriors coverage was the reason I paid for the service. Chat had no clue but to say that the local channel has the option to block streams of their games. What's the point of a RSN if you can't watch games? I was persistent about canceling and a rebate but she would not budge. If what she said is true I feel misinformed at sign up.

Re: Couldnt watch CSN Bay Area Live

I agree, I paid for this service for watching Warrior games.. It was disappointing to get that error message. Luckily the game was on TNT too. Chat agents were not able to help. If this is a problem, I will cancel the service too.

Re: Couldnt watch CSN Bay Area Live

Maybe we have the solution. You were able to watch the game through Directv Now on TNT? I switched to my cable CSN.

Copied from another forum."If a network that DIRECTVNOW carries - such as ESPN, TNT, TBS, or USA - has the national rights to broadcast a game, DIRECTV customers will be able to see it on those channels"

Re: Couldnt watch CSN Bay Area Live

Yes, I was able to watch it on TNT, using Directv now app. Hopefully, we will be able to watch next game on CSN Bayarea as it is not nationally televised. Lets see what happens.. Thanks for sharing this !!

Re: Couldnt watch CSN Bay Area Live

Same thing happened to me with the Celtics on Comcast Sportsnet New England. Wednesday was nationally televised on NBAtv so I thought that was the issue. They played again tonight, but not on National TV and it was still blacked out. I did a chat session and the person I talked to said it was a known issue that they are working to fix. I don't have complete faith in their support yet, but hopefully he was telling the truth.
